We've decided\u2014and this is fine, and I'm not being critical here\u2014that we want to go with the one-time tax credit on the eligibility of certain assets or the capital cost of a project. That's fine too. You have to weigh one against the other. It doesn't have to be exactly the same. It just has to be reasonably competitive.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491724\" data-originallang=\"en\">Obviously, there are other factors that one has to take into account. What's the quality of the natural resource that we're working with here? Are our wind speeds better or worse? Do we have the availability of fresh water? Do we have access to deepwater ports?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491725\" data-originallang=\"en\">All of these things add to the cost competitiveness of a project, and it's not the government policy in and of itself. Government policy is obviously a big component of it. It just needs to be competitive.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7491723\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est exact. Nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 \u2014 une d\u00e9cision qui ne pose pas de probl\u00e8me et que je ne critique pas en ce moment \u2014 que nous voulions offrir un cr\u00e9dit d'imp\u00f4t unique fond\u00e9 sur l'admissibilit\u00e9 de certains actifs ou sur le co\u00fbt en capital d'un projet. Cette approche est \u00e9galement acceptable, et il s'agit ensuite de comparer les deux mesures d'incitation. Il n'est pas n\u00e9cessaire qu'elles soient identiques. Il faut simplement qu'elles soient raisonnablement concurrentielles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491724\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c9videmment, il y a d'autres facteurs \u00e0 prendre en compte. Quelle est la qualit\u00e9 de la ressource naturelle avec laquelle nous travaillons au Canada? La vitesse du vent est\u2011elle sup\u00e9rieure ou inf\u00e9rieure? De l'eau douce est-elle disponible? Avons-nous acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des ports en eau profonde?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491725\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tous ces facteurs contribuent \u00e0 la comp\u00e9titivit\u00e9 des co\u00fbts d'un projet, et ils ne sont pas li\u00e9s \u00e0 la politique gouvernementale en tant que telle. La politique gouvernementale est \u00e9videmment une composante importante de ces facteurs. Il faut juste qu'elle soit concurrentielle.</p>"
